David began his building career while attending Wake Forest University and working for a well-established local builder. He built his first house during his junior year. As a proud graduate of Wake Forest University, David founded his building company in 1990. After many years of successful building, David has created a long-standing presence in Winston Salem.

As a member of the Winston Salem Home Builders Association as well as the National Association of Home Builders, David strives for excellence in all that he does! Westphalia Construction Company, Inc. holds a North Carolina Unlimited General Contractor’s license (#32127).

David was chosen as one of the area’s finest builders to design and build one of the former Home Builder Association homes for which he is proud. He has also served as a Board Member of the Winston Salem Home Builders Association as well as a member of the Ethics Committee.

David is also an active member of the National Association of Home Builder’s Remodeler’s Council. He is passionate about his career and thoroughly enjoys helping his clients realize their dream home, whether in a newly built design or a restored classic.

"We purchased our new home in the Oak Valley subdivision in Advance, NC from Westphalia after being transferred from Atlanta, GA and couldn't be more pleased. This was my 3rd new home in 5 years and the styling, construction and attention to detail was second to none!  Follow-up from David Hickman, the President of Westphalia, or any of his contractors is usually the same day and if needed, they will be at your front door within 24 hours!  I am completely satisfied with our choice of both our home and builder and would recommend Westphalia to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in the near future."
